...worry, son. Kennedy won last night but you'll do better next time." Nixon visibly paled, while sandwiched among the press corps, Tuck was laughing at the stunt he had improvised. One day Nixon was in the middle of a whistle-stop speech on his campaign train when it suddenly pulled out of the station. Tuck, donning a railman's cap, had signaled the engineer to start...
...wanted to hear: Ella at Birdland, Sinatra's 45 of "Chicago," with "Witchcraft" as the flip, Sammy Davis when he was still Junior, Sinatra's Christmas Album (only recently replaced in stereo), the two double albums of Ella Fitzgerald with Duke Ellington, with emphasis on "Satin Doll," and "A Train."

At the same time, though, Train has troubled many environmentalists with his active support for several Administration positions including bills on strip mining, water pollution and the siting of power plants-all of which they consider overly favorable to industry...
...most part, leaders of the environment movement greet Train's appointment with guarded approval. Joseph Browder, director of the Environmental Policy Center, thinks Train "understands and is sensitive to the environmental values," which will be coming under attack. Brock Evans, the Sierra Club's Washington representative, "has high hopes." Train himself is emphatic about maintaining his independence. "As administrator I have the responsibility for making decisions on standards and regulations and I'm the one who's going to make the final decisions...
